It's not prescriptive. Philip Viater spoke to me and he supports it, because it highlights it as just one option for a judge. Often, it doesn't go to a judge but to a justice of the peace. He actually thought it was a good thing, but I hear you and respect your opinion on this, as well. Certainly, those who have a lower income are more likely to be remanded. There's no doubt about it.
Ms. Cross, regarding electronic monitoring, one of the things I like about this bill is that there is a connection between the education of the judge so they can understand coercive control and domestic violence and knowing whether or not to ask for electronic monitoring.
Do you not think this education piece will enhance who is recommended to have the monitoring?
